Three new SingStar games coming to PS2, so let’s get country!

Sony has announced 3 new versions of SingStar for the PS2, which include …

Despite the promise of downloadable tracks for the PlayStation 3 version of SingStar, Sony continues to roll out new discs full of songs for the PS2. This time around they have announced SingStar Country, Legends and Pop Volume 2.

The Country version will feature the likes Keith Urban, Johnny Cash, and Willie Nelson, while Legends will include everyone from John Lennon to Marvin Gaye to Black Sabbath. The second Pop edition meanwhile, will include more contemporary acts like Fallout Boy and Maroon 5. Head over to IGN for the complete track listings.

It's a bit disappointing for SingStar fans that these songs are only going to be available on the PS2, instead of also coming to the PS3 as downloadable content. Though the recently announced disc-swapping feature is better then nothing, actual DLC would be much preferred. It's hard to fault the business sense, however, as the PS2 has a much higher installed based than its big brother, and it's not like these titles need much horsepower to run.
